Thursdays #40 - Hard Day's Night

[slick]

Feb 9, 1964 was when the Beatles first made their television debut on the Ed Sullivan Show. I was one of the many "chickadees" that screamed in my living room that night.

Let's drink to John, George and Linda. May they RIP.

On with the party. I've got my original LP Hard Day's Night and invite you all to bring your vinyl.

Are their any hairdressers in the house??? Beatle haircuts for free! :)

[lbaker]

Whatever the DOD is, make sure it doesn't need cherries. Catland reminded me that Mario ate all the cherries last week. Let me make a quick stop at the store and pick up some goodies! also the 5 & dime to pick up some balloons hehehe (hmmm, do they still have 5 & dime stores?) Be right back.

[RICHARD]

i am working today.....i hate work....

i hate work



Did I say I HATE WORK???

:confused:

[catland]

vinyl? How about Sargent Pepper? I'll wear the a groovy Nehru jacket and put some flowers in my hair. I'll bring my Lava Lamp from home.

I remember good old Ed too. and the early Beatle's 45's like "She loves you" and "I want to hold your hand" - and to think they were scandalous for their time with their oh so long hair.;)

[slick]

DOTD:

Beetlejuice

Ingredients:
1/2 oz. Vodka
1/2 oz. Melon Liqueur
1/2 oz. Blue Curacao
1/2 oz. Raspberry Liqueur
1/2 oz. Cranberry Juice
Sour Mix

Fill a tall glass with ice and pour the vodka. Fill the glass 3/4 full with Sour Mix and then pour in the rest of the ingredients one at a time. Garnish with a pineapple spear and a cherry.

**cherries optional** :D


Richard: so do I! Put down those stats and at least stop for a lunch break :)

[amoore]

Hi slick, where is willie hidding?:confused:

[lbaker]

oops, she must have heard I was going to the store to pick up balloons.. she's probably picking up her slicker from the cleaners or something. Or maybe she's here but just being invisible :confused: Slick, you did mention guts and I was thinking about Steak & Kidney Pie (veddy British you know) but the thought of preparing animal organs just makes me want to hurl :eek: I'll think of something else by tomorrow. YIKES! one week from today and I'll be in Seattle!

Sure they do, although they're called DOLLAR stores these days. ;)

I was never really a fan of the Beetles. I did enjoy the Ed Sullivan show though.

Feb 9, 1964.....hmmmm....don't remember much....I was just about to turn 2, so I guess I was thinking of ways to terrorize my mom for a whole year. ;) :D

That DOD sounds yummy! I'll have one of those - no cherries please. :D

And yes, Richard, I heard you and I HATE WORK too. We'll have to have a I HATE WORK Thursday one of these weeks. ;) :D

[slick]

T&P: One DOTD DONE! Hold the cherries and the guts :eek:
Nice balloons Laurie. When the bar closes we can have a balloon busting contest.

That reminds me of when I was little; my friend and I stuck balloons up our T-shirts to see what we would look like all grown up. Funny how some things never turn out the way you think :D

[trayi52]

Here we are, Mario and I have both arrived. I have been hiding at the doctors office today complaining with my poor, poor foot. Don't broke bones ever quit hurting?? Its been almost a year in April!

Richard you did slightly mention that you hated work, but just slightly.

Today is my oldest daughter's Birthday, she is 29 today. I stopped off to pick up balloons her husband had ordered for her, there was 5 balloons, now there are only 4. One of them escaped and is now flying somewhere over Tennessee! Let me know if any of you see a purple balloon flying over your house, I kind of doubt it will stay in Tennessee, you will know it is the one I lost!!!

I'll take the DOTD and give Mario a beer. I don't care what kind of music you play.... Anything will do!!:D

Why do we all look like this when we come in here? example :D

[momoffuzzyfaces]

I'm having a super duper big hot chocolate here in snowy Kansas. I'm thinking about making ground hog stew out of a certain rodent who lives in PA! (Just kidding, Phil, you are safe from me. It's not YOUR fault they wouldn't let you sleep and insisted on dragging you out and waving you in the air. Good thing for them you aren't prone to air sickness, huh?)

Sorry, this snow has me wound up!!!:D

[catland]

Believe it or not, "Magical Mystery Tour" is playing on my radio right this very moment.

Tray - I think I'm a little too far away, but if I find the balloon, I'll bring it here.

T&P - on some level I can relate - I had older cousins who all thought that the sun rose and set on Elvis and I could never see the attraction.

I turned 8 in '64. OMG - that means I'm going to be 48 this June.:eek: :eek: :eek:

[Nomilynn]

Today is Nathan's (Lirathal) and my six year anniversary :D Champagne all around!! :D

[dukedogsmom]

Happy Anniversary! 1964 was a good year for me, too. I was born. I don't have any vinyl but I've got a double cd of the Beetles that you're more than welcome to use. And, that DOTD sounds really good. I'll take mine with extra cherries please.

[captain]

Lirathal / Nomilynn - Happy Anniversary

1964 - not born yet, but know the music :D

Tray - balloon passing over Oz - looks purple .....??? Miss Meow - should be over Frankston some time soon - just passed Werribee!!!

Barperson - DOTD please (make mine a double)

......... and I join in with the I HATE WORK chant .......

[slick]

Tray: a DOTD and beer for the monkey, hold the cherries. Sorry about your foot; a few DOTD's and you won't even feel the pain :D Happy birthday to your daughter. I remember 29???? Hic.

MOFF: Hot chocolate with mini-MM's for you. No snow here, it's sunny :)

Catland: I took some Magical Mystery Tours in the 60's :eek: :eek:

Naomi: Congrats! Champagne and a toast to N & N! Would you like jam with that?:D Hope you are doing something really special tonight. Here's to 60 more wonderful years ahead.

DDD: a DOTD with extra cherries. Make sure Mario doesn't get the pits. I was 12 when you were born.

Captain: Did you know I'm still finding little stars all over my apartment :eek: DOTD for you.

DONE!

Say, who elected me as barperson??? Gee the last time I slugged out a few you guys were passed out all over the floor. I must be improving with age....

[Cincysmom]

DOTD please!!!

I wasn't born in '64 either, but I am a fan of the music!! I think someowhere I may have my mom's copy of Sargent Pepper'sLonely Heart's Club Band, and I have both that and "Ones" on CD :)

[lovemyshiba]

Great celebration we've got here!!!
My dad was a huge Beatles fan--listened to them all my life!!!

Here's to John, George, and Linda!!!

MOFF--that "rodent" lives about an hour from here, maybe I could kidnap him and send him your way!! We should have invited old Phil to the party this week!!!!!!

Happy Anniversary Naomi and Nathan!!!!!!

I'll have anything warm to drink!!!

[cloverfdx]

DOTD Please :)

1964 well and truly before my time ;) we did have The Beatles on vinyl but a big red dog *Cough* Clover *Cough* ate it. :(

[Corinna]

I'll have something numbing please took a huge fall on the ice today hit my head and back. I was 3 , loved the beatles so much my daughter knows all the words and more facts than I can remember. She has some unopened sgt pepper albums(shes a collecter) a couple more years she should me able to get a huge price. I replaced all my vinyl with cds less space gave all to Clarissa.

[cloverfdx]

Ohhhhh No, i hope you are feeling better soon. Ouch

*Thinking of a numbing drink*

[Corinna]

Starting to feel it now happened this morning. Tomorrow will tell. I filed a police report as it is the reposiablity of home owners and business to keep them clear. It was the church and the pastors drive way part odf the side walk. so I may be typing laying down tomorrow.

[cloverfdx]

That is terrible corinna, good luck with the police report.

[Corinna]

Well I did that in case i have to go to the hospital and so they get them to get it cleared off. It is the only sidewalk to the senior center. I can just see a broken hip. I already witnessed a broken ankle at a local gas station. Of course no one was around to witness my fall, thought I might have to use my cell phone to call for help but after a couple mintues I found nothing broken.

[Miss Meow]

Cheers to the birthdays and anniversaries! :)

Corinna, I took a yukky fall on the concrete yesterday, so maybe we can have a drink together and feel sorry for ourselves ...

I am the walrus
goo goo goo ju!

MM,

I hope you are doing better.....and I wanted to apologize for the 'biker bum' remark yesterday...
:eek: Biker babes always have cute bums....
:cool:

I fricking hate work and couldn't play today...
My boss is leaving, He takes a pile of work, says he's gonna do it, and hour later he gives it back,undone and tells me he is going to lunch.....instead he's making time with the gal next door..

Corrina....

Welcome to the land of bumps, dumps and lumps...
I started it last week with a slipped disc-OH!

I am sorry I am not a good host this week.

My best friend is going thru a bad time, from what I understand her step-mom is dying and I have some other bumps in my road for the next few days....

Slick,

Thanks for doing yeoman's duty....
I'll stick my head in when I can....

[trayi52]

Corinna, sorry about your fall! I know that had to hurt. Don't feel bad, I don't need ice to make me fall. I fall down all the time anyway. My family calls me a Klutz, I fall over anything. Thats how I broke my foot last April, and have had several falls since then.
I hope you feel better tomorrow, but I bet you will be sore.

Well my daughters birthday went well, I told her you guys were watching for her purple balloon to come flying over.

Now I think I will take another DOTD, give Mario another beer, he looks like he might be getting sleep now...

Nomilynn, Happy Anniversary to you and Lirathal! Six years?

captain, no telling where that balloon will end up, I just waved at it as it went flying out of the truck. It was supposed to be tied together, but oh well!

Where is amoore? I think she is the one hiding now.

Thanks slick, I'll tell my daughter you said Happy Birthday.

[slick]

Sorry folks, work has kept me busy this aft. Don't mean to fall down on my duties....

Drinks for everyone. I have to work late tonight so catch you all later. Be good.

Someone give MM something tall and strong to take the pain away.

[Nomilynn]

Thanks everyone :)

Yup, six years. One day maybe we'll actually get married :p

And, because Nathan is in Vancouver and I'm in Victoria, we aren't doing anything but next weekend we have a concert to go to so maybe we can do a nice dinner :)

Thanks again :)

[lovemyshiba]

OUCH!!!

Corinna and Miss Meow, I'm sorry you both fell--that sucks!!
Glad neither of you were seriously hurt though.

A few years ago, I was coming out of a store, where I had just purchased a coffee table, 2 end tables, and something else fairly large, and in a big box. I was pushing my cart out into the parking lot, and couldn't see in front of me because of the boxes, and I pushed it right into a hole, and lost control and fell right down in the parking lot!!!!
No one offered to help me up though:o
I had some nice bruises, and this was a week or so before my wedding.

Hope you both keep from getting too sore!!!

No offence taken :)

Hope things get better for you. Come back to the bar when you can and we'll all buy you a Beetle or two :)

[amoore]

Now where is willie? Did she leave again?

When the Beatles get mentoned Mahayana comes running! He loves the Beatles!

How about a brandy? Richard ?:)

[trayi52]

I'm here, but I'm lurking again! Just couldn't stay visible very long, its just beyond my power. I have to concentrate too hard.

Poor everybody that had a fall. I really feel for you. I feel off some steps one time that had ice on them started at the first upper step and ended at the third or fourth step at the bottom. I yelled for my husband to come help me up, but he was sleeping in his recliner which was right by the door I had just went out, he didn't hear me. So anyway I ended up crawling back into the house and up the stairs to bed. Really bad pain!

I'll take a Hot Buttered Rum, and Mario don't need anything. I think he is asleep...

Miss Meow - can I interest you in a tall and strong FIREMAN??? :D:D:D

[catland]

Slick - thanks so much for being bartender - the tip jar is all yours today, you've earned it.

MM - one fireman? I can't find that in the bartender's handbook.;)

Richard - so sorry life sucks right now - Slick and I can manage the bar if you have more pressing matters. So sorry about your best friend's step-mom.:(

Tray - Tray - where are you? I can't see you. Is that you under the rain slicker?

amoore - one brandy - DONE

[amoore]

Is that you willie under the red rain slicker?:confused:

Thanks Catland for the brandy:D

[trayi52]

*waves to amoore and catland* yeah, its me in my red rain slicker.;)

[amoore]

Willie I hope the doctor helped you find out why you are invisible.:( I think I have what you have. I'm invisible too.:rolleyes:

This apricot brandy is dandy!:D

catland,

The Devine Miss M sent me the Man's Best Friend calendar - the fireman and dogs one ................ hence the "fireman" quip.

.......... but if a fireman had to be a drink, it should be HOT, HOT, HOT - perhaps some tabasco ..... :eek: ;)

Miss M would be running down the street in her bike shorts, with her ripped skirt - needle and thread in hand - behind the fireman!!:D
AND of course, as her friend, I would HAVE to help her!

[Miss Meow]

If I have to share my fireman, then you'd better make it a double! :D

[zippy-kat]

HAPPY ANNA_FUR_SURY Nom & Nate!!!! :D

[slick]

Well it's just past 7:30pm here on the Wet Coast and I just got home from work.

So we got firemen in slickers???? MMMMM, I'll take one of those please and a double BM for now !

WHERE IS GINI????? She hasn't been here all day........

Is she invisible too??

Laurie: I just noticed that you and I are both August babies. Watch out Seattle, the Lions are in town :D

[mahayana]

Hey everybody! Thought I heard the Beatles playing in here...

"Day after day...alone on a hill..The man with the foolish grin is keeping perfectly still..."

Can I get a rum and coke? (Roman coke, hah!)

[slick]

Hey you're back!!!! Where have you been???? Cat got your tongue???:D

Rumola Coke for you. DONE! Hope you are sticking around for a while :)

[Corinna]

HUmmmmmm this fireplace is so nice and warm. Can I get a hotbuttered rum ? It sounds really relaxing. (whisper) hey willie can you get me a towel Mario is slopping in his sleep on my lap.

[mahayana]

Thanks for the nightcap, Slick.

What's that playing? "Get back, get back, get back to where you once belonged...Get back, JoJo!"

I've been working too much, and hanging out in threads like "The Evolution Of Religion" and "America, A Modern Fascist State?"

Glad to be here now. That fire is nice, always liked to stare at the flames...so, is life treating you guys allright?

[slick]

Corinna: HBR and a towel. DONE! Don't forget to change his diaper before he leaves a stain on the couch. Richard will have my head on a platter if it's soiled.

Hey Andy: (I think that's your name??? Tell me if I'm wrong...) Forget religion and fascists for a change. Have a seat in the recliner by the fire and relax the brain.

What's that John Lennon song where he talks in the middle of it saying "Number 9" "Number 9" over and over. I'm racking my feeble brain but I can't think of it.

[Corinna]

Hey I'm done changing diapers if i smell something I'll yell! but thanks for the towel.
Thanks for the HBR !
Richard prayers here to you for strengh to help your friend. Also prayers for the whole family. Please feel free to pm if you need to talk or I have instant messaging or aim I'll pm you both of those.

[mahayana]

Slick- it's called "Revolution #9" on the White album. The infamous song with the hidden message if you turn the record backwards on the turntable. I play a lot of the songs from that album. One of my favorites-

"Blackbird singing in the dead of night...take these broken wings and learn to fly...All your life...you were only waiting for this moment to arrive..."

Appropriate for cyber-relaxing?

[Corinna]

Got to go tonight see ya all in the AM

[trayi52]

Well look who's here, my brother-in-law! Long time, no see!! Where has Ann been keeping you hid? Did she have you locked in a cage and you escaped or what???

Sorry about Mario, Corinna. Sometimes he gets gooey when he is eating cherries.

I'll take another Hot Buttered Rum. Right now I have a killer headache. Need something to make me forget I even I have a head.

[slick]

Oh yea, #9. Now I remember.


One of my favourite songs:


In the town where i was born,
There lived a man,
Who sailed the seas,
And he told us of his life,
In the land of Submarines,
So we sailed into the sun,
Till' we found a sea of green,
And we lived beneath the waves,
In our yellow submarine,

-Chorus-

We all live in a yellow submarine,
A yellow submarine,
A yellow submarine,
We all live in a yellow submarine,
A yellow submarine,
A yellow submarine.

Good night Corinna. Sleep tight.

Willie: you don't want to mix booze and drugs so I guess a HBR is in order. DONE!

[mahayana]

Goodnight, Corinna. Be careful getting home! (One advantage of cyber-bars!)

Willie, glad you stopped in before I turn into a pumpkin.

Vickie, if you'll sing the lead, I do the harmony part on YS.

[RICHARD]

Sky of blue and sea of green......in our yellow submarine...

Thanks to everyone who makes Thursday a special place...
No matter what happens, Thursdays is the best day of the week.

You all rock......

[mahayana]

I've got to play a few more Beatles tunes, do you remember...

"Words are flying out like endless rain into a paper cup...they slither while they pass, they slip away across the universe...Pools of sorrow, waves of joy are drifting through my open mind, possessing and caressing me..."

[slick]

NO, you rock Richard. Can't wait to meet you in July. Sorry you've been having such a "ruff" week with all the bumps. We are here for you, now and always. (OMG that just sounded like wedding vow :eek: )

Richard, a nightcap for you before you got to bed and Andy, let's sing the chorus one more time....all together now

We all live in a yellow submarine,
A yellow submarine,
A yellow submarine,

Good night all. See you in the morning.

Have you hugged your pet tonight????

[trayi52]

Whoopee, I got to hear this! Come on Andy and Slick sing it!!!:D

[mahayana]

"Somewhere in the black mining hills of North Dakota there lived a young boy named Rocky Raccoon...One day his woman ran off with another guy...hit young Rocky in the eye...Rocky didn't like that, he said "I'm gonna get that boy."

So one day he walked into town and booked himself a room in the local saloon...Rocky Raccoon...checked into his room...only to find Gideon's Bible..."

[lbaker]

G'morning everyone. oooo sore and achy moans abound from slips and slides and falling down. Let me clean up a bit and start some nice warm comfort food and maybe some mulled cider with a cinnamon stick. Or would that be a muled cider? We are PetFriendly after all. Maybe Mario would like a ride on the mule. OUT BACK MARIO! No mules in the bar until later. Let me clean up the cherry pits at least.

[RobiLee]

Good Morning All,

Thought I would venture in and see what all the Thursday stuff is about..heheh.

I'm with Val, 1964 was a great year. That's the year I was born also. I have a beatles cd...#1's...is what I think it is called. I'll have to get it out and play it today.

Alden and I are celebrating our 21st wedding anniversary! So a round of drinks on us please!

I would like to start out with a DOTD please, sounds yummy.

Sorry to those who have fell and are hurting today and Richard I'm so sorry to hear that you are going through a rough patch. Hang in there everyone!


Robin :p

[mahayana]

Good morning, earlybirds! Do you mind if I play another from 1966 Rubber Soul? I think John and Paul had a vision of the internet???

"I was alone...I took a ride...I didn't know what I would find there...Another road ...where maybe I could meet another kind of mind there...

"Ooh...then I suddenly see you...Ooh... did I tell you I neet you...every single day...of my life."

I have a pot of coffee on, for those that have to make it to work today. Life is good!:)

[robinh]

Good morning everyone! Hope this day is better for everyone.

I can remember receiving my first Beatles album. I got it for Christmas. And a portable recordplayer......wow, does that make me feel old.

I'd love a mulled cider this morning. Let me help sweep the place out.

[lovemyshiba]

Good morning!!!
I'll have a coffee--sounds great on this cold cold morning!!!

Let's have a toast for Robin and her husband--21 years, and still going strong!!!!:)

At my wedding a year and a half ago, I wanted to do a dance with my dad. I told him he could pick the song, and he did--it was the Beatles, "In My Life"--it was a beautiful moment!!!

[zippy-kat]

Laurie!!

Mule-d cider at the OUTBACK?! Throw in a serving of Sydney's Sinful Sundae and I'm soo there! ;)

http://www.topsecretrecipes.com/recipes/sydneys.htm

I'm not really a Beetles fan so I'll sit this Thurs. out.

Have fun, guys!

[slick]

**yawn**
Good morning everyone! As I look out my window I can see it's going to be another cool but sunny day. Come on Spring, hurry up and get here. Thanks for cleaning up the cherry pits Laurie. Andy, what a lovely voice you have.

Tonya, you don't have to be a Beatles fan to join in on the fun. Just come in, sit by the fire and enjoy some good conversation.:)

RL: DOTD for you and congrats on the wedding anny!
Robin: mulled cider for you.
LMS: Nice to have you join us. Help yourself to the coffee.

Let's drink to a better day with no falls, bumps, or lumps.

Would someone please tell me if they have seen Gini?? Has she lost her way here?

[Corinna]

Good morning all. I guess thanks to 2 men(hubby and BenGay) in my life last night and a hot Bath I'm not as sore as I thought I was going to be . Buut I am not walking anywhere out side today (snowing again!!!!!!)*&^%$#@
I think I'll have a diet soda today .oh I'll get it my self. I brought a cheese and bacon quiche have at it .
Just saw that Catmandu is back so heres to you Gary(raises can)
Looks like the cat cruise is never going to end glad my two stayed home , I needed the "organic heaters" last night.

[lbaker]

Cheese & bacon quiche, excellent choice! How about if I put some stuffed baked apples together with butter, brown suger and maybe some with raisens to go with the quiche. Now that's comfort food :cool: Maybe Gini is giving Richard a hand at work so they can both come and play today. Feb 1964 I was in high school. One of the first U.S. concerts they gave was here in DC. Didn't have tickets but some friends & I (along with a kazillion other screaming mimi's) went to the hotel were we heard they were staying. Didn't spot them but it was fun and exciting anyway :p

[lovemyshiba]

Cheese and bacon quiche?? I hope there's some left--sounds yummy!!!!!! You all always come up with the best stuff for this place--everyone should eat and drink this well!!!!

There's more snow in our forecast--freezing rain, sleet, 6 inches of snow, and more freezing rain:eek:
I'm just gonna stay here all day:eek: !!!

[trayi52]

Hey everyone! Looks like a sleep bunch, except Andy there, but then he is a morning person.

I'll help clean the place up, Mario is the one throwing cherrie pits in the floor. So I think I should be the one to clean up after that little meanie.

I think I'll start out with the DOTD and cheers to catmandu, it is nice to have him back isn't it??

I hope everybody is feeling better today after the fall and spill you took yesterday and before. Just glad nobody got broken..

I haven't seen gini since she went visible!

Richard I hope your day is going well, sorry to hear you are feeling out of the loop.

Anyway, Cheers!!

[Corinna]

That sounds like a lot of fun!!!!
Are you going to take pictures for us???

[Corinna]

I would but i did a dumb thing and throw out the software for my camera Now I have to try to find it again. I will take my 35 mm but may take a while to get it developed. I'm really bad at getting it in to be developed. last batch had pictures 2 years old on it. I think at the Whitefish chamber of commerce site has the calendar of events. I'll see if I can find it and post it.
Keep this great fire going while I go check.

[trayi52]

Corrina, how long did it take you and you daughter to plan her wedding? My daughter fiance has already went out and bought the cake toper, and some other stuff. It has been so long since my other daughter got married, that I don't remember what comes first and what comes last. I need your HELP!!

I think they are moving the wedding date up to December of this year, instead of May of next year...

I need big, big, strong drink!!

[lovemyshiba]

Willie~
I'm not Corinna, but I'm going to butt in anyway.
I got married in August of 2002, and didn't start planning until Feb of that year--I had a lot of help from my wonderful stepmother and my sister, and it was a lot of work, but we did it!!!!!
I can find you a checklist of things you need to do, if you wish. I still have a lot of those old wedding websites saved on my computer. If you (or your daughter) go to www.theknot.com , you can put in the date of the wedding, and it gives you a weekly checklist--some of it was things I didn't need, but it did help me to remember the things I did need!!!
If you need any help, don't hesitate to ask!!!

She already has the most important part, her fiance, so the rest should be a breeze!!!:)

[Corinna]

willis we are still working on it . Hers is July 3rd. We have stil to get the invatations finished. but most all other is done. You can get a fairly inexpensive wedding planner cd at most staples or office max the one we are using gives a day by day what needs to be done.
we have the boquet yet to get and order the buttoners . the place shes having it plants so many flowers that she need not have any others. We have the cake to still decide on but we lucked out on that one of my girlfriends is a decorator for Costco so shes coming a day early to do the cake.
Just have to makle a trip to Great falls (overnight) to find his tux he wants a Doc Holiday type of western style.
Noew the bad news we have been working on it since Sept. .
I thought they weren"t getting married for a couple years did I mss something while I didn't have a computer?

Love my shiba : the best site for info is WWW. Whitefishchamber.com

Hey, here I am, I yam............

Yesterday was just one of those days from hell............my painter showed up (didn't know he was coming) to put on new hardware in my service porch he had just painted. Then he tells me that he wants to paint my picnic table. I was thinking June would have been a good month to do that - right before the BBQ. But he is here......so why not? It is a redwood table. He goes to get the paint and comes back with FIRE ENGINE RED. The color was sort of like Tray's slicker. Uh, I don't think so.........I say.

With all of this going on it was after 2:30 pm when he left. I had so much work to do - just kept at it until late last night. I had no fun at all.

Gotta share a funny Beatles story with you - I will start another post.

[gini]

Yup, it's me again.

My step-mother had a sister who was a nun. She was teaching in a Catholic high school here in California. I remember having this conversation with her about the Beatles.

She remarked that the lyrics were just plain stupid............
yellow submarine - yellow submarine - yellow submarine......now isn't that stupid?

And she was teaching her whole class that these guys would just never make it.

I remember standing there thinking (keep your mouth shut....keep your mouth shut......keep your mouth shut.)

[Corinna]

Sorry to hear about the rotten day. Glad your here now though . Did you ever say aanything to the nun ?
well it's really snowing here now. YUCK I WANT SPRING!!!!!!!!

[lbaker]

And THEIR generation had such intellegent lyrics....
itty bitty fissies in a widdie bittie pond, and dey fwam and dey fwam all over da dam :rolleyes: oh yeah

[gini]

For everyone that fell, ouch! and I hope nothing is broken.

I have a neighbor who tripped on a tiny raised portion of sidewalk - and went down hard. She has a fracture in her pelvic bone - it has been five weeks and she still isn't back to 100% - has to use a cane or walker. So everyone, please be careful.

Now, on to more serious things........I think I need a nice strong bloody mary this morning. Oh, does that sound good - with a crisp piece of celery.

Tray, your slicker is so becoming (or going) on you............

Mario - quit spitting those pits all over the place...........you just hit me on the nose!

[Corinna]

That is if it had words the big band era. I still like some of it too.

[gini]

No, contradicting a nun fell into the category of some major mortal sin........(with a lot of hell to pay), so I kept my mouth shut!

One did not mess with the step-mother's family - they were all gods of some sort. Never did figure out which kind.....:D

[trayi52]

Hey gini, good to see you! Mario leave her alone!!

Corinna, She is now wanting to move her wedding up to December if her fiancee's brother can come in on leave. If not then they are planning for May or June. She has me so confused, I feel like banging my head on the wall.

Thanks for the sites, I am going to put them in a folder for her, so she can look at them. I may be asking for help big time, as my brain just don't seem to want to work.

She has done picked out what kind of cake she wants, somethng about stairs and a water fountain. I said 'a water fountain on a cake???':confused: I ask her wouldn't he cake get mushy. See I have no idea about some of the stuff she is talking about.

Strong drink please!!

[Corinna]

I'm not cathloic so I plead ignorance of the whole holier than thou thing. My god mother does have a brother who is a preast. cool guy maybe not the typical one he worked with the young people .now retired anout 6 years ago. does missions work around the world.


Yea we are having a fountion also its a neat thing , its like the little ones you can buy as decorations. Their topper is a presious moments couple in western outfits and a rope knot tied in to it.

[amoore]

Hello everyone!

Sounds like wedding planning for my niece.

Happy Anniversary to Robin and Alden! Twenty one years calls for a big celebration! I hope you guys have a hundred more wonderful years!

I am glad Catmandu is back, I missed him and his cats!

Richard are you around ? I sure would like a coffee!:D

[Corinna]

So far Richard hasn't checked in but I can handle coffee just not mixed drinks haven't a clue. grab some quiche before its all gone.

[lbaker]

Someone just made a big fresh pot of coffee (not as fresh as that Mario, what's gotten into him, the little imp!?) Would you like a splash of Kahlua in that? The baked apples are ready and there is some quiche left too. Sit yourself on down in front of the fire, I'll serve :cool:

[dukedogsmom]

Just checking in from work. I would ask for some peppermint schnapps to be added to coffee but that wouldn't do at work so regular coffee it is. Wish it was cold enough here to enjoy a good fire. That sounds wonderful.

[trayi52]

I think with all you guys helping me through this, I just might live through it!!;)

I would just love to take one step at a time. So Corinna, the fountain cake is beautiful? Thats what she wants, so I guess thats what she will have..

Thanks everyone!

Happy Anniversery Robin, and many, many more!!

[gini]

Tray, there is a book that I bought for my niece when she was planning her wedding and it was extremely helpful. It included every possible option and idea for weddings.....so you didn't forget anything.

It also had places or pockets in it to keep notes, make a journal, a to-do list and on and on.

It just helped her keep on track and more organized. Of course, I don't recall the name or author/publisher. But I bought it at a Barnes and Noble store. (you could look on-line).

Relax, Mom, it will all fall into place. Enjoy the chaos!!:D

You look lovely in red, Tray!

[dukedogsmom]

Hey, I did a search for fountain cakes and look at this one! It's really pretty. No telling how much they paid for it.http://www.luigisbakery.com/images/Wedding%20Cakes/fountain%20cake.JPG

[amoore]

So good to see you all here today! But where is Richard?:(

Mahayana came in all happy from having such a good time. :D

Thank you lbaker for the coffee! oh those baked apples smell great! :D

[Corinna]

Luckly Clarissa had the dress already so that is the hardest part so many styles and PRICES. so I was saved from that horror.

[Corinna]

Richard Is propbly at work hopefully having a better day. Lots going on in his life we need to keep in in our thoughts . Hope he does pop in later.. Clarissa isn't planning that big of a cake. but you can buy the fountions at wilton cake supply places. we are going to buy it cause clarissa is thinking of going in to cake decorating.

[trayi52]

That is a beautiful cake! She want some kind of stairs on both sides too...

I think I will wear this red rain slicker to the wedding!

[gini]

Well, that would help Tray, if the fountain on the cake got out of hand:D :D

[Corinna]

I wonder if our daughters know each other. Clarissa wants the outer stairs too. Well I have to go and get some dishes and kitchen junk done . back later this afternoon.

[RICHARD]

Stopped in to get my PT/Thursday fix......


nice to see you all bright and chipper...

was that Mario on the Bud commercial?

I'll be back after work-My attitude has improved....I don't hate the work, I hate the attitudes that people have...


Here is my line for the bean counters that are after me...


You guys count beans, I harvest beans, the people that fill out the forms plant the crop.

When I don't get the crop planted on time, I am late harvesting so you can't count beans.....


Talk to the farmers the harvester has gone deaf..

Love you ALL!!!!
:cool:

[Corinna]

Well I got my stuff done now I am enjoying Englebert Humpberdink on the Wayne brady show . (i know Its Beatles week)
Richard glad work is better to day. We all have those days .
Willie I must have missed the slicker starter Please explain.
The two programs we are using for weddings are Wedding Planner Expert (the one I'm useing) and The complete idiots guide to the perfect wedding (clarissa is using)

[trayi52]

Well there is a thread going called "why are you invisible", I went visible for a short time, like 20 minutes. So everybody was joking that I would have to wear a rain slicker so I would be seen on Thursdays. I chose red instead of the basic yellow slicker. ;)

[Corinna]

Ok I think the red is very chic . I thought maybe it was to deflect the cherry pits that Mario is throwing. Hes being very good today (so Far)

[lbaker]

You forgot to mention that a slicker might be helpful when we start flinging the water balloons :p :D

[trayi52]

This here litttle old rain slicker will come in handy for ALL occasions!! Wouldn't my daughter be suprised If I came to her wedding in a bright red rainslicker???

She has done said she was going to make Sam think she is going to run halfway down the ale, because everybody has been telling him she would run like the one on the movie Runaway Bride. She said she was going to stop halfway down the ale, and start looking for exit signs. LOL, that would be so funny if she did pull that little stunt to scare him. The way she is natured, she will do it.

Willie

[slick]

Hello all! Sorry I haven't checked in until now. I've had a really busy morning.

Thanks for checking in Richard. We love you too!

Any chance of getting a double BM???? Whose the barperson around here or should I quietly step in the back and make my own???:D

Corinna,
Download, download, download is my catch cry to you.
Go the the manufacturers website (of your camera), and you should be able to find downloads of software for your camera!

If you need a hand, yell out. Happy to help. PM me if you like! :D

Barperson - It is only 9am here in Aussie, and already the day from HELL ............ make mine a double coffee, with whiskey. Thanks!

[RICHARD]

IT'S FREE FOR ALL DAY TODAY.....It IS the day from hell....


lol, my old boss used to say...I'm on the treadmill from hell.....

I'm going to mix up a batch of BMs and Beetlejuice and pour them into coolers-just pour your own!


Put some nickles in the juke box.....you know-background music.....things will settle down....sorry about not being able to take individual orders......




DONE!
:D

[Edwina's Secretary]

An early Beatles fan...I recently bought a cd with most of my favorites. Kind of Rubber Soulish. How times change and we think all the bad stuff happens now????

Listen to these lyrics....

"You better run little girl as fast as you can, if I find you with another man that's the end. I'd rather see you dead, little girl, than to see you with another man." etc. etc.!!

:o :eek: :o

I could use a coffee again. :)

Quite honestly, I have had many of those days and I've always put it down to the big "M". Here, sit by the fire and relax. What can I get you??

Sara: nice to see you here. I'm surprised the "E's" have let you come out to play today:D What will it be??

I know Richard's busy and I don't see Catland so I'll try my best to keep up.

[mahayana]

Hey guys! With all this wedding talk I better play

"When I get older...losing my hair...many years from now, will you still be sending me a valentine...birthday greetings, bottle of wine?

"If I've been out till quarter to three...would you lock the door? Will you still need me, will you still feed me...when I'm 64?"

Do we have fish and chips, and a pint of ale today?

Ah yes, John was just a jealous guy...I think the first jealous song was "No reply"( I know where you been...with another guy in my place), then there was "I'm Looking Through You" (I thought I knew you...what did I know?).

[dukedogsmom]

It's been hellacious here today too! And I know why....that blasted full moom:mad: It was pretty this morning but I was cursing it because I knew what I was in for. It makes people crazy. Never believed that until I started dispatch. Now I know it's a fact. 30 more minutes and I'm out of this place! So, have me a strong one waiting.....I'll need it.
Richard: I can sure sympathise
Captain: They were talking about your stars earlier and I saw one on my table by my tv chair. Too funny.

[Corinna]

Hopefully the best man doesn't do what ours did. slapped a KICK ME sigh on hubbys back as he congratulations. in front of every one there at the alter. His mom totally frecked out my just giggled.
So glad the E's let you out today.

[slick]

Sorry again people, looks like my day is shaping up to be like Richard's. Can't seem to get any play time organized. I have not heard any good jokes lately at all. It's been very quiet.

You could always visit the Joke Thread tho......

Where is Mario???? He's not in his usual sleeping spot.

And I wanted to come back as somebody entirely different!!

Drink, need drink, now.

Mario is, well I don't know where he is now..

Sorry Slick, you day is so rotten. Just ask yourself can it get any worse? No, no on second thought don't ask. That seems to tempt fate too much!! So for heavens sake don't ask yourself that question.

[slick]

Well I'm home now and feeling much better. Looks like a fairly quiet time here tonite.

I think I'll just slip behind the bar and have me a few. If I fall down, someone can wake me up in the morning :eek:

Sara: :D :D :D Reintarnation LOL LOL Thanks for the laugh.

[Corinna]

Letts see seems like slick is a sleep under the bar (again) I'll just cover her with a blanket and get a soda and leave (turns Out the lights) (whispers) nighty nite all

[gini]

Just thought I would take a peek in the bar and see what is going on.........ooopps - guess it is closed. But there is some snoring going on behind the bar..........hmmm, I really don't need to know who it is.

Mario, turn off the television - it is late - and past your bedtime.
Here is a beer - now go to bed.

Think I will just sit here by the dying embers in the fireplace. It has to be the best part of the entire day - really peaceful.

Thanks everyone.........and goodnight.....sleep tight!

[lbaker]

Come on Slick, up and at 'em... 9 more days until these two hot Leo ladies knock Seattle on it's butt! RRROOOWWWL :D How's about a HOT bloody, I'll heat up the juice before adding the vodka and serve in a huge steamy coffee mug :p Poor Mario, asleep in the peanut bowl again :rolleyes: with cherry juice all over his sleepy little face. Here you go sweet-pea, let me wipe your drool off. sheesh... once a mom always a mom ;) French toast with REAL maple syrup and sausage started on the grill.

[dukedogsmom]

Real maple syrup.......now that sounds good! We can all do the Friday chant today! Yippeeee! It's Friday and payday. Good morning all. And, our state fair has started so I'm going there on Monday. Hopefully to see lots of horse exhibits. They don't have the schedule for Monday listed yet. If you want to browse, it's www.floridastatefair.com They are celebrating 100 years this time around.

[slick]

OK, I'm awake......why is my neck so sore???? I must have been sleeping on it the wrong way. Note to self: don't fall asleep behind the bar ever again. Thanks for covering me up Corinna. Boy that last one I made really hit me.......**smuck**

Laurie: just counting the days. How will we recognize each other?? Should a hold up a sign like they do in the airport???:D :D Maybe I should just make an announcement in the hotel lobby:
"Attention, all those participants of the Pet Talk Anonymous group meeting please report to the bar immediately!"

DDD State fair sound like fun. Make sure to take pictures.

Today should be an easier day for me. Fridays is usually pretty quiet around the office and I should be able to have mroe time for playing...shhhhh don't tell the boss.

Let's see, first I take a double BM (gee it's only 7:15am here
:eek: ) and some french toast and sausage. It will ruin my diet, but what the heck. Breakfast is supposed to be the most important meal of the day.

Richard, I sure your day will be better than yesterday. Check in when yoiu can. We miss you.

God, I'm starting to live for Thurdays :) :)

[amoore]

Good morning everyone! Hope everybody is feeling better.

My computer would not work this morning. I finally got it going but it is very slow. :(

[lovemyshiba]

Good morning all!!

The State Fair sounds like fun!!! Have a wonderful time!!! Take some pictures if you can for us!!

I think I'll just have some coffee this morning, it's so yucky here. Snow, freezing rain, sleet, regular rain--it's a mess outside!!

I am definitely cursing out my friends who are on a Caribbean cruise, as well as my stepmom and sister who arrived in Florida last night around 11.

School was cancelled again today for the kiddies--they had 3 days off last week, and 3 again this week:eek:

Penn State even cancelled twice this week!!!


Have a great weekend everyone!!!

[Corinna]

Sorry Slick counldn't find anything for a pillow last night.
It's my day of H@#l hubby and son home today no playing for me . I'll try to check ing to night when they go to bed.

All you have to do is sit in the computer room with the door shut and put out a sign "Out for Cyberlunch. Back at 2pm" ;) Don't stay away too long.

Come to think of it, that would work for Richard too.

[gini]

Good morning everyone. Slick, glad to see that you are up and at em!

I headed right to the kitchen for some of that french toast and pure maple syrup. I think it dribbled down my chin though, Mario wouldn't leave me alone.

Friday - thank goodness it is Friday!

Just barely. It's windy, rainy and cold today. Would have been purrrfect to just stay in bed with Max and Speckles. Oh well. I think my new motto should be

"I work, therefore I pay" :D

[trayi52]

Hey Slick, did you sleep here last night?? Behind the bar? Gee thats where I wanted to sleep.

Are you feeling better this morning Slick?

I think I'll take the DOTD, don't feel like I slept to well last night either. Like a tank ran over me or something.

Mario, are you being good? Don't be bothering slick and gini like that.

[slick]

No problems here. Got lots of work to do but can fit in plenty of play time as well.

Willie: DOTD DONE! Yes, I've been known to "lounge" behind the bar in the past....:D Don't laugh, it used to be under the pool table. :eek:

Don't worry about Mario. I'm kind of attached to him now and he's become quite the bar mascot. Now, if only we could train him to use the bathroom. You guys must be tired of always changing his diapers.

[trayi52]

I guess that next on the agenda, Mario if you want to be the mascot of the bar, you gotta learn to use the bathroom so we don't gotta change you diaper all the time.

One thing though girls, lets teach him to put the seat down when he is done!!!

Sometime in our conditions here, we might not see the seat is up, and you know how that feels! Yuck!!!!:eek:

[gini]

I tried, I tried, but all he would do is keep flushing the toilet and then playing in the water.

Oh no gini! That is just gross! Mario you gotta learn boy!

So what do we do with him, keep changing his diapers and giving him a beer to make him sleep???

Here Mario, have a beer...

[trayi52]

Slick maybe there is one of amoore's frogs in the water and he wants to fish it out and have some froglegs for his din din!

[lbaker]

NOT SIPOWEITZ IS IT? :eek: Here's a rubber duckie Mario, leave the frog alone puleeze!

Excuuuuse me!!! There will be no further talk about my friend Kermit being served on a platter. ;)

Someday we'll find it
The Rainbow Connection
The lovers, the dreamers and me.

:)

[trayi52]

Don't tell me, tell Mario! He won't listen to me, maybe he'll listen to you!

Gee, does amoore have a frog by the name of Kermit??:confused: Probably does, knowing her.

Here Mario, have another beer.....and leave the frogs alone!

[catland]

Sorry I missed the party yesterday everyone. It's kind of slow here at work right now so I took advantage of the situation and took the day off.

Slick - thanks so much for stepping in and tending bar - kind of fun, isn't it.

I'll make some Spanish Coffee's for anyone who wants to help me clean up. Why is there a rain slicker in the corner and is there someone, or something moving underneith it?:eek: :eek:

and I wanted to say... what? what's that in the rafters.:confused:

[lbaker]

LOOK OUT BELOW!!! Mario found the hidden water balloons! We're in for it now, quickly now.. under the pool table or behind the bar while I try to lure him down with a beer or some cherries..............

[trayi52]

What color is the rain slicker? Is it red?? That my rain slicker!

Wouldn't you know it, here instead of having snowdays for school, they are having flashflood warnings and letting school out for that. We haven't had not even one snow!!

We are having a very mild winter here, gets cold but no snow. If it rains, then we have some ice on our steps. I don't go out, I fall too easily!

And what is that in the rafters?????:confused:

[trayi52]

Now you tell me whats in the rafteres!!

[slick]

Gee thanks Mario......you hit my head and now I'm soaking wet!!!! Good thing there's no men around to see this wet T-shirt of mine :eek:

I'm desperate and going into the L & F to see if I can find a change of clothes. Wish me luck and if I'm not back in a hour come and get me.

Catland: no problem. I'm learning the ropes but how do you stop people from stealing the cherries and the lemon and lime wedges??

[gini]

thank goodness Slick didn't notice that all of the olives are gone......I was thinking about blaming it on Mario

[lbaker]

pssst, Gini - I don't think Mario likes olives, he just sucks the pimento out and leaves the rest...shhhh

[slick]

Originally posted by gini

Ah-Ha!!!!! so it was you.........thought I couldn't hear you from the L & F....think again....:D These walls have ears you know.

Guess I'll have to go to the store and get some more.

Does this paisley shirt go with the mustard pants???? I don't want to look like a geek :eek:

[lbaker]

You just look like Art Carney getting ready to play golf with Ralph Cramdon!

[gini]

Hurumph!! Well, these ears have walls you know........so I will just ignore you.

You look nice Slick........really nice

(ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha (behind her back).

[lbaker]

er, um... Slick. Dear. You aren't going to wear that when we go out to dinner are you :eek:

[trayi52]

Yes slick, the paisley shirt totally goes with the mustard pants! ;) *cough, cough*

[slick]

Ok, Ok. I guess I'll have to go back and find something else to wear. :(

**mumbling** Gee you can't please everyone. Mario like it!!

[zippy-kat]

it's lunch time, everybunny!

I need a warm comfy chair by the fire and gallons of something warm to drink. I'm so pooped from digging out of the snow yesterday.

Mario, why are you dropping water balloons on everyone? I have some chocolate chip cookies and will give you one if you be have yourself!:D

Is this better?? I found the poodle skirt and a pink sweater. A bit 50'ish but that's all I could find.

Thanks for the offer MOFF. I'll remember that for next Halloweenie.

Tonya: pizza for everyone and drinks all round.

DONE!

Sure hope Richard is having a better day.

:D

[gini]

Probably no one care......but this word made me stop and look at it and wonder about its derivation..........

Sorry, I do have days like this...........


rhine·stone ( P ) Pronunciation Key (rnstn)
n.
A colorless artificial gem of paste or glass, often with facets that sparkle in imitation of a diamond.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[After the Rhine(translation of French caillou du Rhin : caillou, pebble + du, of the + Rhin, Rhine).]
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
rhinestoned adj.
Word History: Although rhinestones are inseparably associated with the costumes of country and western singers and Las Vegas dancers, the word originally had European associations. The Rhine in rhinestone is the Rhine River, and rhinestone is a translation into English of the French phrase caillou du Rhin. Originally a rhinestone was a kind of rock crystal that was found in or near the Rhine. Other types of rock crystal, such as Cornish diamond, were given similar fancy names. Because rhinestones could be made to imitate diamonds, the name rhinestone was applied to artificial gems made from paste, glass, or gem quartz and as a result often carries a connotation of showbiz glitz.

[slick]

Interesting Gini. You learn something every day around here.

Didn't someone have a song out a long time ago called

Winestoned Ploughboy????

[lbaker]

Sit down over here Slick, I'll fix your hair into a beehive!
Rhinestones = showbiz glitz That's us Thursday gals fur sure, before a couple of drinks (then we become "Reintarnation-ized")

My thoughts exactly.

[Corinna]

Most are very fit too skiing you know . I know the gym that they work out at Too.

[lbaker]

I'll be passing by Montana on my way to Seattle won't I? richandhandsomerichandhandsome

[Corinna]

Just take the flight from Minnasota to Kalispell. I would love to "show" you around. Just dress in your snow bunny gear!

[Corinna]

Hey Catland has been in the L&F a little too long should we go look for him? I'm not going a lone in THERE!

[slick]

Ahhhh but can they walk and chew gum at the same time????

Oh, I forgot. Men can't multi-task :D. I'm booking my flight.

Mario, stop swinging on the ceiling fan!!!!!!

I'm fixing myself a strong BM. Anyone care to join me??

[Corinna]

Hey did we run out of booze or did all the bosses get back from lunch? Hey know what a bossSpelled backwards is don't ya, a double s o b

[trayi52]

I'll take one slick, I think I need one after all the water balloons Mario has been throwing. By the way where did Mario get those water balloons anyway?

Who's lost in the lost and found? Send Mario in to find him!

If Mario don't stop swinging on the ceiling fan, then turn it up on high! ;)

[Corinna]

I think Catland went looking for something dry to wear Mario has been having a bit of fun.

Did you get to look at any of the wedding sites?
If any one wants to see where we are having Clarissa's wedding find the PBS Americas castiles The Conrad Mansion
I think the episode was called the rockies.

[trayi52]

Corinna, I have been looking at them. They are so scarey, that means I am that much closer to losing my baby.:( , and this is my last one.

What am I going to do with myself after she gets married and moves out???:confused: I have been a stay at home mom since she was born! Now what???

Give me something very, very stong to drink!!

[Corinna]

Unfortuntely you do as I did get more pets to replace them. Doesn't Mario need a friend? or I know do things I have wanted to but didn'y have the time or money too . Cuz kids needed something.
I still have one at home but he works and now has finally bought his own car so it won't be long and he'll move out . Then I can run Nekid in the house.

How's your day going?? Better I hope.

[trayi52]

Somebody give Richard a Midol!! I want to see him spit and scratch at the same time.

Corinna, guess I'll have to steal a couple of my grandchildren. I got to keep one of them all last year until my son took him back to live with his x wife (second marriage, second divorce)

More to drink!! Mario needs him a wife, but it would cost him about 3000 dollars last I heard to get him a wife!! I think he is going to have to stay a widower.

[catland]

I'm back from the L&F.

... don't ask, you don't want to know - I'm feeling kind of woozy -

Corrinna - I'm a she, not a he... want proof? (does a Janet Jackson) - oops - those Spanish Coffees must be going to my head. I've suffered a L&F wardrobe malfunction.

Who wants nachos?:D

[Corinna]

Sorry some reason I get you and cat dad mixed up . Too many catty names also too many wolf pack around too. Have a drink on me for my stupidity. No Janet Jackson stunts PLEASE!!!!!
Willie I have to steal grand kitties both kids have 2 and thank goodness no kids yet. I'm too young to be a grandma,

I just got back in from digging my car out again! The city in their limited wisdom plowed it in! Would it kill them to lift that stupid blade when the come to my drive way? I'm the only one on the block for goodness sake. Well, I guess I should be glad they plowed at all. They just started that when two police cars got stuck trying to go up the brick hill last snow storm.

Nachos quick! That will keep me quiet munching! Does Mario like them?:D

[trayi52]

Catland, I thought you looked like a she, but I was just too embarassed to ask.:o

[trayi52]

Oh yeah, Mario love them! Give him some of those and a beer and he will be a happy litttle monkey for awhile!;)

[catland]

Don't feel so bad C&S's Dad. Turns out that Mario did better on the IQ test than the rest of us Thursday regulars.:eek:

[trayi52]

I seen that test too, I don't think I wanna even touch that test! I would test way too low. I would rather walk around believing I am smart, than to know what I really am.

I'll just put on my dark sunglasses, and keep thinking I'm smart!:cool:

I'll take something strong too, slick and make it a triple. By the time I get through with that I'll know I'm smart!

[trayi52]

What did Mario score??:confused:

[zippy-kat]

It's Friday.. Bring on the Junque Food as my gym is in trubble and shuttin' its doors. :eek: Dunno if it's temporary or what, but any day off the blasted butt-machine is reason enough to celebrate!! How about hot-carmel pralines-&-cream sundaes with whip cream and nuts????

psstt, Phred... isn't it Drake not Duke's Momma who posted that? >>tiptoes out to go check<<

[slick]

Zippy:

Whew, that was hard. I actually had to pull the dessert book for that one. Richard's got them packed away behind the bar. I guess he doesn't do junk food :eek:

[zippy-kat]

He's taking Midol but doesn't do junk food?!

What kinda man is he, anyway?! lol

:rolleyes:

[zippy-kat]

Hey Phred--it's nice of you to join us this Thursday... don't see you in here often!

Are you having a blonde day? Don't worry...that's how I live my life. You'll get used to it in a bit. It's really not all that bad once you get the *smacks gum, twirls hair* bit down. Oh yeah... ya gotta master the phrase, "I don't get it..." ;)

[trayi52]

Oh lordy, poor, poor Phred!! Don't let the whitecoats take Phred away!!!:eek:

He will be alright, we'll give him a midol too!

Give me another DOTD, and make it a double!!

You can give Mario another beer, so he'll leave Cinder and Smoke alone. I know they don't want to deal with him right now!

[Corinna]

I guess I will have another soda for now. Sending hubby to a movie . Phred so good to see you. even if it is in a sad state. I have a treat here for the kids, not Mario you have had enough today. I think that monkey is going to explode some Thursday!!!

Richard are you like my son in law to be. He gets the cramps and pms not my daughter.

[zippy-kat]

hee hee....

Is Midol the answer to everything? lol


The only thing it ever did for me was put me to sleep PDQ!

[trayi52]

Well it sounded like a good idea at the time :confused: . *smacks gum, twirls hair* I don't get it! Did I do it right zippy-kat??

[RICHARD]

Everyone knows there's no crying in Thursday's!

That's why I have been absent!


Cinder and Smoke....
grab dad by the pants leg and bring up to the front.......


We have to initiate him into the club!!!!

Hey guys,

i'll be back later........I did have to welcome our newest members!

:D
He'z been havin a *blonde* WEEK! :p

But he gots da "I don't get it..." :confused: part down pat!

:D
Sit up, Dad.
An quit blowin *bubblez* wiffa straw!

[trayi52]

I don't get it, whats going to happen to Phred?

I knew I could do it zippy-kat, I think these gray hairs actually work better than the blonde hair.!!:D

[Corinna]

I got tired of the grey and bleached it. Tired of the oh shes a blonde, so now I'm a strawberry blonde .

Have some nachos Phred, they are healing.

[zippy-kat]

Born a red-head, I'm (now) a natural strawberry blonde. I hate it. The roots and the layers underneath are much darker than the rest... if I go natural, I end up looking like something off of a Jerry Springer episode! :eek:

I usually have the red lifted (ie highlighted) out of my hair.

(Looks better & I don't have to 'splain the (natural) dingy-ness! :D )


Richard, quit crying and have another dose of Midol!

[gini]

And all of this time I thought it was......."twirls gum and smacks hair".............

Everybody in here is on Midol? Wow! What happened?

I think we should keep this to ourselves.

And Phred - welcome - but ya gotta stop crying or Mario comes over and wipes your eyes - and it is anybody's guess what he will use as a cloth........(if you get my drift).

Did anybody tell Phred about Mario?

[trayi52]

gini, you have it backwards, I think you are supposed to twirl your hair and smack gum.... I think.:confused:

Now I'm confused, zippy-kat time for another lesson..

Well you see Richard was having cramps and well midol just sort of got into the conversation and then well I Phred came in and he was upset, and then zippy-cat was trying to show us how to act blonde, and phred was still upset and I think Richard took Phred somewhere. Got it???:confused:

[lbaker]

I don't get it * twirls Mario and smacks Richard *

[mahayana]

Have to say that this happening has been a little confusing. I'll play one more tune for the cleanup crew...what did I step on???*squisshh*ooooohh! hope that was a broken balloon!

"When I get to the bottom...I go back to the top of the slide...then I stop and I turn and I go for a ride...till I get to the bottom and I see you again! Helter Skelter!"

That was too loud...how about

"There are places I'll remember...all my life...though some have changed. Some forever, not for better...some have gone...and some remain..."

"Ob-la-di, ob-la-da, life goes on...bra! La la la la...life goes on!"

[trayi52]

Nice singing Andy!

Ummmm twirls Mario, (yes Mario loves that), and smacks Richard? I think you got it!!!!!

Willie;)

[RICHARD]

I just didn't want Phred to sit in the back by himself......we were hanging out at the front of the bar, doing a 'meet and greet'on everyone....

That's the best remedy for anything that pains you!

[mahayana]

Hey, has anybody seen Sipowittz? I don't know if he got offended at being called Kermit, or...wait, is that him in the fountain cake?

Sipowittz, I'm going to put one of those waterfall pools in your greenhouse, if you promise to be good. Here's another tune for the Saturday crowd-

"I need to laugh...and when the sun is out...I've got something I can laugh about. I feel good...in a special way...I'm in love and it's a sunny day...Good day sunshine..good day sunshine..."

[lbaker]

Ah, yes...I think that was 3 Dog Night, or was it CCR?

I was trying to think of Beatles songs with pets in them, but the Fab Four made few animal references..."And You Bird Can Sing", "Blackbird", and a nasty one about "yellow matter custard." Paul must have had a dog, Ringo a cat, I can picture George with a parrot on his shoulder, maybe John had tropical fish? Help! Does anyone know the answer to this trivia question?

"Our house...is a very, very, very fine house...with two cats in the yard...Life used to be so hard...Now everything is easy 'cause of you."

[smokey the elder]

Three Dog Night did that song.

[lbaker]

"Our House" was Crosby Stills Nash & Young :cool:

[mahayana]

How about-

"Me and you, and a dog named Boo...travellin' and livin' off the land...Me and you and a dog named Boo...how I love bein'...a free man."

Can you think of any other pet songs from back then?

[mahayana]

That group was Lobo.

Anyone picked the theme for Thursdays 41? Valentine's Day is Saturday, so I guess a drink with heart is called for.

"There's nothing you can do that can't be done...nothing you can sing that can't be sung...nothing you can be, but you can learn how to play the game...It's easy! All you need is love."

And a toast for Mr. Rogers-

"Will you be mine...would you be my (cyber) neighbor?"
